Someone posted on the Yo-Kai Watch work page that the US release will be just one version with everything, rather than One Game for the Price of Two. What evidence is there for this? Did they just interpret it as such because only "Yo-kai Watch 3" was announced and not the version names?

I noticed Gamexplain hasn't made a video on the announcement. It seems like they obsess over every major game. I guess they don't care about the 3DS anymore.

Wishful thinking, it seems.

Edit: I think it's just speculation. I've seen fans discussing that they're probably only releasing one YW3 because they only announced one title. That makes sense since it's a 2019 release and the 3DS is all but dead. I bet they'll scrap Sushi and Tempura and just go with the third version. I have heard that Blasters included references to the games but that can quietly be ignored.

I feel the translators dug themselves into a hole by making YW 1 set in America instead of Japan. I don't really understand why they did that. That's so early 2000s, not mid-2010s. Translating the yokai is fine but the people's names could have stayed the same.

It's just really funny that Nate's family moves to BBQ. Not Canada, not even Texas, but BBQ.

They've shown Katie coming through the door instead of Nate before (you can see a snip of that scene at about 1:40 in the recent video above), so I imagine you can dictate which one of them gets the spotlight.

Or at least I hope that's the case. Those cutscenes wouldn't make sense otherwise.

I saw a Yokai WathMonopoly Jr board a few days ago. There certainly is a merchandise push for the series, but how well does it actually sell?

I remember hearing someone saying YW and YW 2 together haven't even sold 1mil outside of Japan. I don't know how accurate that is, but I wonder if rushing out translations of YW 4 can help. The Switch is hot and new while the 3DS isn't selling so well anymore.
